Recap: New England vs. Miami
By Sports Network
Foxboro, MA (Sports Network) - Tom Brady threw for 332 yards and hit Randy Moss with the go-ahead 71-yard score in the third quarter, as the New England Patriots opened some breathing room in the AFC East with a 27-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium.
Brady completed 25-of-37 passes with the one touchdown and an interception, while Moss hauled in six balls for 147 yards. Wes Welker contributed nine catches for 84 yards in the victory.
Laurence Maroney chipped in 82 yards with a touchdown on the ground for New England (6-2), which had a bye last week after a victory over Tampa Bay in London and has won three straight to grab a two-game lead over the idle New York Jets in the AFC East.
The Dolphins (3-5) could have tightened the division and made it a three-team race with a victory Sunday, but instead failed to build off last week's win against the Jets and fell to 3-1 within the AFC East.
Miami stunned New England in last year's trip to Foxboro, unveiling the Wildcat formation in a 38-13 win. Ronnie Brown ran for four touchdowns and threw for another score in that game.
Brown managed only 48 yards on 15 carries, but again threw for a score. Ricky Williams added a touchdown run and rookie Pat White ignited the Wildcat with 45 yards on six carries.
Chad Henne completed 19-of-34 passes for 219 yards without a touchdown or an interception in defeat.
